Best doctor! He told me to get second and third opinions before he operated on my shoulder. He did all he could to NOT operate...shots, therapy... He was one of the first I saw after I woke up. I had another problem and no insurance years later. I lived two hours away. He set up the appointment for surgery and I had the surgery done paying nothing. He took the time to talk with me multiple times on the phone, not his nurse. I will never forget him.

Dr. Carlson is the best surgeon I have ever had. He is an amazing doctor and an amazing person - and I have had FIVE previous joint surgeries from other doctors. He is kind caring and meticulous in his work. He follows up with the patient and takes time out of his schedule to answer questions. He would never do anything unnecessary. He performed two joint replacements for me and they have greatly improved my quality of life.
